Looking outside the window she saw the dreaded leaves falling on the almost skeletal trees. Cold breeze spiraling like it's playing hide and seek. The narrow, gravelly road had been jostling the car for at least five miles now. The stars above flashing like a glitter to a dark paper sky. She don't have any idea where they are now. One thing for sure is that we're far from the city.


Chaeyoung took a nap and got awaken by a tap on her cheek. Sana woke her up saying that they are almost there. As if on cue, they entered a wide big gate and like the things she saw in dramas, everything was surreal. The lights all over the place made it even look like a castle where Cinderella attended a banquet. The younger girl felt like she's inside the fantasy book itself. Sana parked the car at the center and got out. Momo and her followed suit.


The place were so beautiful and wide. A middle aged man approached the blonde and she gave him the key to the car. Momo grabbed her savior's hand and gave her a reassuring smile. But the smaller girl was so nervous that she could feel her palms sweating. Even so, she tried to muster a smile to say she's fine. They headed to the entrance. Everything was wide like a giant was living inside. Chaeng could only imagine how rich the people she's going to work for.


"Okaerinasaia Hirai-sama, Minatozaki-sama" A woman with an intimidating aura came bowing and greeting the two of them. The said woman averted her attention to Chaeyoung and bowed as well. The younger girl bowed as a response.


"Sunmi unnie where's Mina? She didn't know we're coming?" Momo asked. The older woman hesitated. She seems scared to answer. Did something happened?


"ugh that kid did she leave again?" She deadpan. Sunmi nodded and bowed.


"I informed her as what you wished Hirai-sama but ojou-sama said that she'll see you tomorrow" She apologetically bowed again. Chaeyoung felt sorry for the girl. Maybe Ms. Myoui was just that busy. She tried to reason. The idea of having those wealth probably has it's price and the woman could understand that.


"Should I call her Momoring?" Sana offered. Momo shook her head indicating she's not putting up to her cousin's obvious rejection.


"Īe, we're going. Go change Chaengie this is a great opportunity for you to see the real pain in the ass" (No) She smirked and Chae could only see how Sana unnie's eyes twinkle. What's going on? Where are we going?


Momo guided her to her new bedroom and reminded the woman to wear a badass outfit which throws her off guard. Are we going to a club? At this hour?


Chaeyoung who didn't know that she has to wear something like that, had not prepared herself. Momo understood at one glance just by seeing her troubled look so she lend her a leather jacket, a white fit crop top and a fitted black pants that was as shiny as her forehead. She ended it with a pair of boots.


After changing, Chaeng took a look on the mirror. I look... Weird?  Sana started to fixing her hair and make up.


"woah~ I didn't know you brought a tiger here Momoring" The blonde gasped after doing whatever she was doing on Chaeng's face. Momo joined her and gave a thumbs up.


"You did great Sana-chan" They have that satisfied smiles. Chae stood up and went to the mirror. Indeed, the innocent looking girl was gone.


Is this even me?

Momo patted her shoulder.


"We'll be outside Chaengie come down after you recovered" She giggled and they left her alone. The younger girl is still processing what just happened and going to happen. As if on cue, her phone rings. She looked at the caller and smiled seeing her friend's name.


Tzuyu: chaengchaeng did arrive safely?


"Ne yoda. why aren't you sleeping? It's your bedtime already" It's rare to hear Tzuyu talking and awake in this time of the day.


Tzuyu: Dubu unnie nagged me to call you before I sleep.


Chaeng could notice the annoyed tone of her friend. She giggled imagining what happened.



"I'm fine you can sleep now. What time do you think the two of you would arrive?" She sprayed some perfume while still holding the phone to her ears.


Tzuyu: hmm I think tomorrow evening. I'll call you when we arrive, we still need something to fix back at school.


"Okay, that's great. I need to go Tzuyu. Sleep now okay?" She didn't hear an answer from the other line. I guess she nod to it. She chuckled.


Tzuyu: goodnight chingu~



Before she could answer, the line cut off. Realizing her friends must be sleepy, she let it go and smiled to herself. Her two friends decided to join her to her trip to Japan from Korea. They wanted to spend their vacation there and be with her at the same time. The trio are inseperable since they can remember and Chaeyoung knew that. She let them do what they want but she didn't told them the truth on why and who is she going to serve.


Looking down at her watch, she decided to go down stairs where Momo and Sana are waiting.



...


A rusted fence on a nowhere forest and an old looking house. It's pass as a place where murderous spooky things happens. One word to describe the place, creepy. Sana stopped and took out a mask that resembles a tiger. She handed it to Chaeyoung.


"Wear it. We need a disguise" Then proceeds to take out one more mask that resembles Snake. The younger girl followed her instructions and wore the mask. Meanwhile, Momo wore a Raccoon. Weird are we in a masquerade party?


"The three of you this place is restricted" A big bulged muscle guy came out from the house. Wearing a mask that reminds the girl of friday the thirteenth. He was wrapped with tattoos on every inch of his exposed skin.


"Akai it's us" Momo then turned and faced him while crossing her arms. The guy bowed down instantly after recognizing her. His eyes reflects how frightened he is.


"Gomenasai Momo-hime! " He shouted. Sana then roll up her dress sleeves.


"so where is your boss?" Sana unnie asked. The guy then stand firm. Is he a soldier or what?


"Ojou-sama gave a command not to disturb her Shiba-hime" Isn't shiba a dog? 


"Whatever. Stay here if you don't want your ojou-sama to beheaded you." Momo and Sana walk ahead with Chaeyoung trailing behind. The new girl don't have any idea what was happening.


The guy bowed and stayed rooted where they left him. What's with the language usage. Why do I felt like I'm in a big trouble here. She though. They entered the house. The house looked decent inside but what she didn't expect was that there's an elevator. A freaking elevator in a house that doesn't even have a second floor.


The elevator opened. It revealed the modern and advanced features installed in it. Momo pushed the red button, then the elevator goes down.


"Chaengie I hope it's not too much for you" Momo warned her about what she's going to see. Chae got the grasp on what was going to happen just by that. When they heard the ding sound indicating for their arrival, the room slowly revealed itself. An electric chair sat at the corner of the dim room. At the center is an operating table but what she noticed was the dried blood rested on it. A flash of thoughts pass on her mind. What could possibly happened to the owner of those blood.


Chaeyounggulped. It makes her mouth dry. She knew better that everything in life wasn't so perfect, even the wealthiest person has its darkest secrets. Sana guided them to the door at the center. It was painted red like in the movies where devils reside.


She holds the knob and turns it slowly, making a creaking sound as she push the door open. When the room was finally revealed, a certain person was standing in the middle with a knife in hand. She's wiping off something from it. Blood.


There are many people with different masks bowing to her. They didn't even budge when the three entered.


"I told you Momo I'll see you tomorrow" Cold voice creeped out from the mouth of the girl that's facing her back to them.


"Yah I almost died from the last mission and this is what I'll get?" Chaeyoung could imagine her rolling her eyes underneath the cover. The girl turned to face them revealing a mask of a... penguin?


"But you didn't" The penguin said. Chaeyoung felt intimidated just by the mere presence of the girl before them. But the mask made it different so she tried her best not to show any disrespect. The person waves her hand, then the people surrounding them dispersed.


"Whatever you say heartless princess" Momo took off her mask, followed by Sana. 


"We have our business here" The blonde crossed her arms. Somehow her energy reminded Chaeyoung of her best friend, Dahyun.


She slowly took off her mask, revealing the beautiful face of the girl often praise by Chaeyoung herself. Her eyes that looks so captivating but cold, her red lips and pale white skin. The person standing in front of them was none other than the girl she's going to serve, Myoui Mina.


"state your business"



Oh God.
